My sister and I recently visited the "Oldest House" in America. Upon arriving, the man who ran the establishment welcomed us, gave us a verbal tour of what to expect, and insisted that we watch a 7-minute long documentary about the building. We felt a little pressured to comply so we sat down and watched it. Afterward, the man pointed... More

No admission but they day out right at the door that you should purchase something before you leave to help keep their doors open. It's a 5 min stop.

I first visited the oldest house in Santa Fe (and maybe the oldest house in the US???) in 2005 and found it magically charming. It seemed quaint that the two room museum was kept open by the fact that a jewelry shop occupied the third room. It was not quaint when just six months later when I returned to Santa... More

The house and church are only a block or so away from Loretta Chapel and The Plaza. Worth the walk. Sante Fe is full of historical buildings.

I loved the history offered in the brochure. I loved the simplicity of the house, the minimal cost to see it,and the fact that we could take pictures . Even tho it is quite a walk, the surrounding are well worth going.

cant say much but disappointed it wasn't open, it was cool looking at the walls that looked like grass and pebbles inside some type of mud
